The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver has just released the latest Housing Price Index for April, 2011:
| Benchmark Price | 3 Month Avg. | 1 Year Change | |
| Detached | $ 1,970,056 | $ 1,911,589 | + 17.6% |
| Townhouse | $ 820,316 | $ 802,815 | + 5.7% |
| Condominium | $ 527,089 | $ 519,516 | + 2.9% |
In spite of increasing prices, the number of detached homes sold in April were 23.3% less than in March, 2011. Townhome sales increased by 5.6% over the previous month, and the number of Condominiums sold dropped by 22.4% from March, 2011. However, it is important to note that the number of new listings coming to the market have also dropped in April, keeping inventory levels tight, and prices stable.
